This student competition in The Netherlands and Belgium – set up by the Dopper Foundation – aims to stimulate more young people to focus on the global issues of clean water and / or plastic waste.

Changemaker Challenge: for alpha, beta and gamma students!
Are you studying for a HBO or Master’s degree in for instance art, theater, anthropology, communication, design, human geography or sociology? The Changemaker Challenge is suitable for all students, whether you are an alpha, beta or gamma student. You’re invited to do your graduate research on clean water and/or plastic waste from your study background. We think it is particularly interesting to read different perspectives on clean water and waste solutions and we look forward to reading your input!
This year the challenge opens up for HBO graduates as well, which gives the opportunity to design and art students to participate. So is your research more practical and are you more of a drawer then a writer?

By submitting the topic of research before April 1, 2018 you stand a chance to win €5,000. Find more information here: Changemaker Challenge 2018.

On January 8, 2018 The Tipping Point platform Ondernemers van Nu organized a thought provoking event about the transformation of our economy.

A packed DeliteLabs went in a conversation with Kate Raworth – author of Doughnut Economics – and Willem Ferwerda – #1 sustainability leader in The Netherlands – on how to do business in the doughnut economy.

Instead of economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive, we need economies that “make us thrive, whether or not they grow”. This means changing our picture of what the economy is and how it works. Kate Raworth’s ground breaking theory introduces a new framework and inspires the rethinking of our economy at large.

Willem Ferwerda’s work with Commonland illustrates this system approach beautifully. Building on the insights and best practices from ‘Doughnut Economics’ and Commonland’s 4 returns model, we’ll explore and reflect on the question: What is the role and attitude of (SME) business if we strive for human prosperity within a thriving living world.

http://www.thetippingpoint.nu/?p=412#respondThu, 05 Oct 2017 13:35:37 +0000http://www.thetippingpoint.nu/?p=412The Tipping Point is involved in a campaign to support the Maasai in the current incredibly tough times, climate change related, they are suffering. The campaign is run together with Maasai Elder Ezekiel Ole Katato, the Maasai people, Heroes & Friends and a team of other great people.

The Maasai of East Africa are iconic because of their strong and popular culture. Majority of the Maasai live in Kajiado County, south of Nairobi in Kenya. The Maasai depend on livestock – cattle, sheep, and goats – as their only source of income, but a devastating drought is threatening to wipe them off. Their land is now bare and many cows have died because of hunger and lack of water. The remaining cows are too weak to stand or walk on their own. Children have dropped out of school to help take care of the dying cows. Every day, people look up to the skies in anticipation and hope – hope that the skies will open up and bring the much-needed rain, but so far none is forthcoming.

Urgent action is required and will help save lives and restore hope. Please support the campaign through this link.

Although the initial focus is on surviving the crisis, we are also involved in a long-term project of the Maasai that will create a more sustainable future for the people, their land and culture.
